Scout Now, Pay Later
Making Scouting More Accessible for Every Family
For generations, Scouting has been one of the most impactful programs in youth development, giving young people experiences that build leadership, resilience, and a lifelong sense of community. But for some families, the upfront cost of membership has been a barrier to getting started.
That’s why Grand Canyon Council is proud to be one of the first councils in the nation to pilot a new membership payment option — “Scout Now, Pay Later.”
Through a partnership with Klarna, families can now spread out the cost of Scouting over time, with flexible plans that fit their budget.
How it Works
When completing your online membership application, families can now select Klarna at checkout. This allows for several flexible payment paths:
Pay in 4 Payments
Break your total into four manageable installments.
Pay in 30 days
Enroll now, and pay later when it’s more convenient.
Monthly Options
For as little as $15 a month, families can cover Scouting membership with low, predictable payments
- Klarna also works seamlessly with Apple Pay and Google Pay, making sign-up quick and easy.
Why This Matters
The Scouting experience is priceless — but we recognize that the initial cost can feel overwhelming, especially for families juggling multiple activities and responsibilities.
By offering a payment plan, we’re removing that barrier and ensuring that more youth can start their Scouting journey without delay.
- Accessibility: Families no longer need to put off joining until they can pay all at once.
- Flexibility: Choose the payment option that makes the most sense for your household.
- Equity: Every child who wants Scouting has a path to participate — no one is left behind because of finances.
